Welcome
Welcome to my pet project. A thorough description of the German invasion of Norway from the Norwegian point of view. I hope you'll find something of interest here.
My name is Robert Mårtensson and I live in Uppsala, Sweden.
I am a software designer and do this kind of stuff just because I can't stop myself.Contact Me

Site info
The site has two goals. The first was to collect and present reference info about the battle of Norway for interested people, like game designers (like me) and other "nerds". The second was to write about the less known part of the campaign, i e the part fought before the intervention by the British and French, and to give my analysis of the battles. The last part I haven't even begun with though.
Most of the pages uses frames. I'm sorry if you can't handle them.
I have had some trouble in classifying the data at the site into categories. I'm working on it though. Until problem is solved I guess the internal organisation may be a bit confusing at times.Log of updates
Last update 14th of January 2002. A lot of changes here and there.Links
A good looking Norwegian site with nice photo material and good articles about various aspects of the campaign may be found at: http://www.nuav.net/. They also have a good and active online discussion forum. Something that I'm very envious of!
A well researched site with material about the Norwegian coastal fortresses and the actions they were involved in at the German invasion: http://fuv.hivolda.no/prosjekt/breviar
Another well researched and interesting site for you armchair pilots is: http://www.dalnet.se/~surfcity/norway.htm. It covers the adventures of the Norwegian Gloster Gladiators and their pilots.
An excerpt of a translation of the splendid autobiography by Oscar Magnusson "Jeg vill leve", can be found at: http://bolga.com/Jeg%20vil%20leve/oscarm-.htm
The book is about his dramatic life during the occupation. The translation is done by Jeff McLean, who has also done the web pages.A great site for all kinds of info about the German forces may be found at http://www.feldgrau.com
